Thanks Justin

Is it possible to use g_wham with pull_geometry = direction, I read on
the website that you couldn't but was wondering if this had changed?


Nothing has changed as far as I am aware. Also keep in mind the difference between SMD and umbrella sampling. They are separate procedures, as hopefully my tutorial has made clear.

Hi All

I am using COM pulling to pull two molecules together in order to
calculate the potential of mean force and the pulling is fine. I am
using pull = umbrella for the pulling as I am following
 the tutorial on the website. If I use pull = constraint does this still
pull the molecules together, and if so do you still then need to
perform umbrella sampling on the configurations generated? I am a little
confused  as I don't understand how the molecules pull together if they
are constrained.

For plain SMD, you can use any of the pull methods.  In the tutorial I
wrote, I explain why I used "pull = umbrella" during SMD.  Umbrella
sampling is a separate procedure, which can be done after SMD.  If you
want a free energy along the reaction coordinate, there are several
methods for doing this, among which is umbrella sampling.

Many Thanks
